Wow~
In the starry sky, a strange wave spread out, and then a figure appeared out of thin air in the starry sky. It was Yang Qi who left the hall.
"It's the place where we entered the hall before."
Looking at the familiar surroundings, Yang Qi immediately confirmed that the starry sky in front of him was exactly the same starry sky he had been in before entering the hall.
"Forced union?"
Yang Qi's eyes focused, and he already had some ideas in his mind about forcibly combining force attack and soul attack, but these ideas still need more deduction and verification before they can be transformed into reality.
“It’s time to go to Merkel.”
Yang Qi moved his hand, tore open the space directly, drilled in, and rushed towards the location of Merkel and others' fleet.
…
Just as Yang Qi rushed to Merkel's fleet, Merkel and others were anxiously waiting for his arrival. Yang Qi had been away for more than half a month, which was much longer than they had expected.
"Commander, we have just received an order from the legion commander to return to the empire as soon as possible." Locke quickly walked to Merkel's side and said.
Merkel raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "Don't we still have several years to go before the patrol? Why are you in such a hurry to call us back?"
The Ninth Legion patrols an extremely vast territory. Under normal circumstances, it takes several years just to patrol. However, this time, Merkel has only been patrolling for less than three years. It is really unreasonable to call them back in such a short time.
"The commander didn't say much, but there is a secret order that needs you to open it." Locke shook his head.
Although he is one of the captains of Merkel's Royal Guard Fleet, there are many secrets that he cannot access. Only high-level officials like Merkel know them.
Merkel nodded and went directly to the communication room. Through the token from the deputy commander, he received the secret order and started to investigate. However, when he looked at the content of the secret order, Merkel's face suddenly darkened.
"Commander..." Seeing the change in Merkel's expression, Locke was also shocked. When he was in the Thirty-sixth Fleet, he had always been Merkel's confidant. Over countless years, Merkel rarely showed such changes.
Merkel took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "The eldest prince has returned to the Imperial Star!"
What!
As soon as these words came out, Locke's expression changed drastically.
They are supporters of the third prince, who is one of the princes most likely to inherit the throne. Apart from the third prince, the other one most likely to become the next emperor is the eldest prince.
Originally, the eldest prince should have been in his own fiefdom, but he suddenly returned to the Imperial Star at this time. It was really strange. No wonder the legion commander called them back.
There is no such thing as an imperial capital in the Qianyu Empire. In the Qianyu Empire, there are imperial stars, and the entire planet is the imperial capital of the Qianyu Empire!
"Then should we set sail immediately?" Locke asked hurriedly.
It was obvious that the eldest prince returned to the Imperial Star for the throne. As supporters of the third prince, they naturally had to rush back to support him as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the third prince ultimately failed to inherit the throne, the fate of these supporters of the third prince would definitely not be good!
Merkel looked up at the starry sky and gritted her teeth, "Wait, wait one more day."
He had seen Yang Qi's strength and means. If such a person could be introduced to the Third Prince, it would definitely be of great help to the Third Prince. If the Third Prince made some achievements in cultivation, then it would naturally be easier for him to inherit the throne.
Yang Qi didn't know what had happened on the Third Prince's side. At this moment, he was rushing towards the location of Merkel and his fleet.
Wow~
In the starry sky, a space crack expanded, and then a figure emerged from the space crack. It was Yang Qi who had rushed all the way here.
Whoosh~
While Yang Qi was resisting, a small aircraft quickly flew over from the fleet not far away.
"Sir Yang Qi, you are finally back. We are about to return. Let's get on the warship first." Merkel looked at Yang Qi and said.
Return
After hearing this, Yang Qi was stunned. He remembered that Merkel said she would wait for him, so why did she have to return at this time? He had only been away for more than half a month.
Although he was a little curious, Yang Qi did not delay at all. He flashed and landed on the aircraft, and followed Merkel to the main ship of the fleet.
Merkel also hurriedly arranged Yang Qi in the VIP room, and at the same time ordered the entire fleet to return. After doing all this, Merkel came to Yang Qi's room again.
As soon as Merkel saw Yang Qi, he explained, "Sir Yang Qi, I'm really sorry, because something happened in the empire, so we need to return early. If you don't arrive in time, we can only leave a small warship here to wait for you."
Yang Qi nodded. Since his arrival, Merkel had been busy, ordering the fleet to return as soon as possible. He could naturally see that Merkel was in a hurry to return.
"Excuse me for asking, what happened to the Qianyu Empire?" Yang Qi looked at Merkel and continued, "As far as I know, the Qianyu Empire is not weak in the nearby star fields."
The Qianyu Empire is a technological civilization. They are not like the Martial Emperor-level forces of the cultivation civilization. If the old Martial Emperor dies and the new Martial Emperor is not born, they will be in a weak period. As long as the empire is not destroyed and the technology they have mastered is still there, their strength will continue to develop and increase.
Therefore, although the Qianyu Empire is not the strongest among the four major forces, its own strength is the most stable. As long as no major war breaks out, the strength of the Qianyu Empire will not be weakened.
"To be honest, it's about the throne." Merkel said with a wry smile.
Throne!
After hearing what Merkel said, Yang Qi also understood.
Qianyu Empire is a technological civilization, and the strength of high-level individuals is similar. Unlike cultivation civilizations, which rely entirely on individual strength, as long as there are strong people in charge, the cultivation forces will basically not experience major changes. Technological civilizations often cause a lot of shock when power changes. Without absolute strength, how can others easily give in
"In our empire, the most promising heirs to the throne are the eldest prince and the third prince. Our Ninth Legion is the supporter of the third prince." Merkel said.
Yang Qi nodded. This time he went to Qianyu Empire because Merkel invited him on behalf of the third prince. He didn't find it strange that Merkel was a supporter of the third prince.
"Now is the period of transition of the throne. The eldest prince was originally in his fiefdom, but for some unknown reason, he suddenly returned to the Imperial Star. We are worried that something might happen to the succession to the throne, so we decided to rush back to the Qianyu Empire." Merkel sighed.
The strength of a cultivation civilization represents power, while the power of a scientific and technological civilization represents strength. Although the positions are only swapped, there is an essential difference. (To be continued)
